Acute supraglottic laryngitis complicated by vocal fold immobility: Prognosis and management
European Archives of Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Jun 21, 2019
Ringel B, et al. - In this retrospective cohort study, researchers characterized the natural history of vocal fold immobility (VFIm) associated with acute supraglottic laryngitis (ASLIm) and determined the added effect of VFIm on ASL severity, management, and the need for intervention to secure the airway. Between January 2007 and December 2016, the records of all patients hospitalized due to ASL were reviewed. Among patients with ASL, VFIm is an apparently uncommon finding. It usually seems to be transient, short-lasting, and it is possible to expect a full recovery. VFIm did not change the course of ASL, nor did it pose an increased risk to patients due to the need for intervention to secure airways.
